A good lesson start

(time line as a warmer)

I’ve been using time line as a warmer for a long time. It could be one date or a week. I usually give the students a list of week’s events and ask them to find more for further use at the beginning of the lesson.

Here is the site where you can find a lot with links for other lessons.
